The executive-length Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills (formerly known as Rolling Hills Golf Course) provides an excellent game and it is a very player-friendly course. True to its name, the course is quite hilly causing a few elevation changes and undulating greens. The fairways are lined with pretty trees, adding some challenge and beauty to the course. There are no water hazards but there are a few strategically placed bunkers to worry about as well as some out-of-bounds stakes bordering a few of the holes. Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills consists of ten par 3s and eight par 4s. On the premises there are also practice facilities, a pro shop, and an on-site golf pro.

Talk about course improvements

They really have done a great job with this course. The greens are fantastic. Plan on lots of three putts. Playing at night is something to experience. All of the staff is great. My only issue is while using 18birdies it get a bit wonky between day tee times and night. Don't hesitate... Just book it. You won't have any regrets.

Grass clipping @ Rolling Hills

Great redesign of the old rolling hills. 18 par 3’s that are in tremendous condition, possible the toughest/best greens I have ever played on. Pro shop and staff was extremely friendly. Played in 3 hours not having to wait on a single hole. A bit pricy and $91 after tax but was well worth it to play at night under the lights. The range needs a bit of work, you can tell they are reseeding it. Other than that no complaints. Would definitely play again in the future.

Slow Pace of Play

I’ve played this course since it was rolling hills and always enjoyed it. However, the pace of play has been horrible the last couple of times playing. Idk if they need to stretch out tee times or have a Marshall on the course ensuring pace of play is good. It doesn’t make for a fun day of golf when you’re sitting on EVERY tee box for 10-15 mins waiting on the group/groups in front of you. Will wait to go back until I hear pace of play is better.

Changes at Rolling Hills

Hitting off mats on the front nine is not my favorite.
Losing the two par fours on the front nine also not my favorite.
They did make number nine a beautiful hole though.
Was hoping number seven was going to get a revision, nope.
Golf carts need serious attention, seat cushions torn biggest problem.
Always liked the back nine, still do.
Seems to have lost a little bit of the sweet neighborhood feel and more changes on the way.
Night golf is going to be the big draw, particularly in the warmer months, very cool idea.
Love the views and always enjoy playing there.

Good Time

Short and fun track! Mostly par 3’’s with a couple par 4’s You better be on your game because the “rolling hills” can be deceiving!! The greens and tee boxes are in great shape! I think they’ve recently done a redesign and construction. Excited to see what it’s like when it’s done!! The lights are very cool as well! They are bright and make the course very playable even after sunset!! I would play again!

Par 3 Haven

This is the 2nd time that I have played the course. It is a fun course with plenty of challenges with the hills but very little sand. There is still a great deal of the course that lacks turf in the rough. On the 10th hole, my GPS said 260 yards but the hole was closer to 170 yards. All the other distances were good. I wish we were allowed to drive the carts to the range prior to play. That is an annoyance. Can’t wait to get back there!

Stepping up the Game

Rolling Hills/Grass Clippings is going through renovations, but the curse is still very fun to play. Because of this, there are still some kinks to work out. I am excited to see the finished product. Then, these reviews will be more thoughtful and thorough.

Cool Concept- They Need to Get Organized

Super cool to have night golf and I am sure they will work through the kinks of new operations- but we were told our online rate for 18 would not be honored/only 9 holes were available so only got half the golf of what we paid for. Hitting off mats off most tee boxes, no bays available in range, a little messy with overall operations, but will be back and sure they will figure it out over time.

Night Golf was great

The course is perfect for night golf. There is still some fine edges that need to be completed but it did not hinder our enjoyment. The staff was friendly and the taco cart was great. Overall a wonderful experience.
